As a start we could put up a want list like FreeBSD
has(http://www.freebsd.org/donations/wantlist.html)
Shouldn't be many lines that needs to be written to add it to the web page.
A little table and we are there. If there is a need for it I can make the
page.
I know I have a need for a dedicated dragonfly box in the (near) future.
Not funny screwing up the laptop I now use for it since it is also used
for almost all the school work I do home and at school. It is not even
mine. :) Happened on more than one occasion that there has been a late
night getting it to boot again.
